Aug 26, 2013

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The nation's best soccer broadcast schedule just got even better, as Fox Sports West has announced that they will televise UCSB's Nov. 9 Blue-Green Rivalry matchup against Cal Poly.

The Gauchos will now have every men's soccer match broadcast via commercial radio or streamed online, with three matches being televised nationally. In addition to the season-closing clash with the Mustangs, UCSB's Sep. 13 matchup with UCLA will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network, while the home contest against Stanford on Sep. 27 will be covered by NSCAA.com.

The best rivalry in college soccer, each UCSB-Cal Poly matchup has been an event since over 8,000 fans filled the stands to see the Gauchos best the Mustangs 3-1 on Nov. 3, 2007. Last year's contest drew 13,467 fans to Harder Stadium, the highest attendance of any collegiate soccer match in 2012. Of the top 12 most attended regular season, on-campus matches in NCAA soccer history, Gaucho-Mustang showdowns comprise seven of them.
